I've only been here for about 20 days but still I've had so many awkward moments and conversations.
These are only a few:
1. On my first day of school I accidentally told my whole class I was 6 years old. Whoops.
2. Last week, my class was supposed to go to PE. We sat in the gym for about 15 minutes until we realized the teacher was not going to show up. Everyone was just lying on the gym floor talking. The group of girls closest to me scooched on over to talk to me. One of the girls turns to me, and in English, asks "Do you like a boy now?" It took me a second to process what she was asking and after I had answered I asked her if she did, not knowing what else to do in this situation. She said yes and then proceeded to roll over the top of me in excitement.
3. My world history teacher always brings picture boards of people my classmates are studying about. Recently, he has been bringing American presidents and asking me if I know them, but then he never uses them during class.
4. The other day our rotary district held a welcoming party for all the new exchange students. Afterwards all of us current exchange students went out with the previous exchange students (who are Japanese) We went to take photo booth pictures and only two people stayed behind to edit them. When they handed them out after the finished I realized that instead of writing "Hello Bitches" like they had wanted to, they accidentally wrote, "Hello Biches".
The most awkward thing for me was that, when changing for P.E., the girls would change in the classroom while boys changed in the halls, but the doors to the classrooms all had huge WINDOWS in them. As if this weren't awkward enough, I found out later that everyday we would have P.E., the boys (most of whom were friends of mine) would bet each other on which of my bras I was wearing that day.
